DO THEY LIKE SPARKS RULE?

DO THEY LIKE SPARKS RULE?
Will the anti-divisionists answer this
question? Are they content to remain
under territorial government and con-
tinue to undergo the infections that the
land policy of MI. Sparks brings, or do
they prefer to take the primary step,
when the opportunity offers, toward a
condition of things which will strip
Sparks of the lions skin and show him
up to the world as the ass that he is?
Dakota is q mere dependent province
upon which demagogs of the Sparks
order will continue to experiment with
their "policies." If we had a voice in
national affairs we would receive better
treatment. We are denied admission to
the Union because congress says we
don't know what we want. The coming
election is for the purpose Of permitting
the people to declare themselves, and it
is the duty of every citizen to go to the
polls and make known his choice as be-
tween division and admission as a whole.

New YORK's Union Labor convention
passed a resolution which the Demo-
ocracy dare not embody in its 'sS plat
form. The resolution is as follows:
Resolved, That we as a body of men representing
the workingmen of the state of New York, condemn
the efforts made during last congress to reduce the
tariff on articles made and manufactured in this
country. We demand in the interest Of our manu-
%facturers and artisans that a protective tariff be main
tanned by congress for the further advancement of our
interest.
Now let us hear from that wing of
the Democracy which wants free trade
and would bring the laboring mel Of
the United States down to the European
pauper scale of wages to get free trade.

THE vote on division has nothing t,

THE vote on division has nothing to
do with taking either section Of the ter
ritory into the Union as a state. The
object is to reach the will of the. people
on the question of division so that con-
gress may act intelligently when the
matter comes up next winter. If the
people of South Dakota make a demand
for admission as a state, that is an en-
tirely separate proposition. One thing
certain, South Dakota will not get into
the Union until the territory is legally
divided. The election next November

The board of county commissioners
at its Thursday session voted to fund
the outstanding indebtedness of the
county, and transform all warrants into
g. per cent bonds. This is an econom-
ical move for the county and a profitable
thing for those who will hereafter have
warrants to cash. 1t will bring all war
rents up to par, at which point they
will no doubt remain.

N VERSUS CITY.

A Rustic Lad on the Sidewalk-A City
Boy in the Country.
When the country chap enters on the
sidewalks of a city 1t astonishes him, and
at the same moment irritates him to hear
a remark from a dapper youth to the
effect: "Hullo, countryv' He can't for
the life of him see what there is in his ap-
pearance that suggests that he is from the
country. His cowhide boots, his clothes
of a hue that suggest the home dye pot,
and a cut which recalls q past genera
ton; the stoop in his shoulders indicative
of toll; his queer hat and long, unkempt
hair do not present themselves to him as
being at all odd or out of the way. He
does not believe that there is anything in
his appearance that is unlike the city
chaps. It is simply an unwarranted in
suit.
"You shet up, gol darn vel" is his reply
to the i~mpertinenoe.
Then another city boy joins the first,
and then three more. They form around
the visitor, first at o safe distance, and re-
peat the offensive "Country!" "Coun-
tryP One holder than the other makes a
snatch at his VISITORS hat, and he in re-
turn launches out his big cowhide boot
and catches the little assailant in a ten
der place. He bowls with pain, and then
the others attack the countryman en-
masse. They hit him with chunks of
wood. They pelt him with humps Of dirt.
They charge IN him in ones, twos, threes
and smtte him in the back, on his
tenance. They trip him up and otherwise
maltreat hin till the racket attracts a
citizen with a cane and a constable's COM
mission, who chases away the mob.
AS a result there is eternal enmity be-
tween city and country. The city boy
that ventures into the country Is liable to
get hit with a stone or Q rotten apple, be-
sides being constantly jibed at for his ap-
pearance. ne Is put through a course
OF sprouts OF great variety:
When nature was engaged in the manu-
facture OF "bumblebees" she made two
xmas, ailke In appearance, save that she
painted the practical end OF one q bright vel
low n that OF the other a deep black. The
tormer is pretty and harmless; the latter
IS not SO pretty, but makes up for 1t In the
possession Of q lance that 1T uses with con-
m skill.
IL was run to initiate the city hoy into
hunting bum6lebees IN connection with
assuring MN That you knew a plant whose
JUICE rupped on the hands would turn the
sung OF pee; me country boy rubs his
palms with the white Juice OF the milk
weed, and then demonstrates Its value to his
credulous visitor. He hunts among the bull
thistles TILL he finds q bumblebee with the
yellow caisson, and boldly clutches him in
his hand. Then the city boy must try it;
milkweed juice is applied, and then the
crafty country fend 1'steers'' him against
q bull thistle In which sits and sups a bee
with the nigrescent attachment. He
grasps 1t gingerly, and instantly drops it
with a shrek OF pain, and convulsively
shakes his hand as he twists about in
agony.

AS Confident as Ever That He Has
Struck a Big BOnanza.


EATONTON, GA. Jan. lS.-The general
topic OF conversation here is about T. j.
Suggs, the man claiming to have iu-
vented a secret plan of teIegrarhing and
telephoning. lie was interviewed again
by your correspondent, and on being
asked whether his Instruments will be
very complicated and expensive. he said: :
mo; it will be even more eimple than Is
generally supposed, and will cost a very
little more than those now in use They
are Very different from those now used,
and are SIMPLY connected to the pres
enL lines. tut In the telephone service
only small per cent. OF the wires in use
Will be necessary, and e:many subscrIb-
ers may use the same line ard their con-
Versatl0n will be strictly private. The
instruments will work somewhat on the
same principle. only q few SLIGHT changes
being made. Perhaps | will have my ill.,
ventiOD In public use this spring or sum-
mer, and will have it We'll covered with
patents before shown to the public" He
was asked what kind of electi icity he
Will use and in what way would he de-
liver messages at any hour OF the night.
To these questions be declined to ans Ter
but said it is very simple, there being no
use OF night force OF operators, tue day
force being used, and SAID the electricity
would cost but little.
MIR. Suggs says he is CORES ponding
with capitalists and IS expecting many
letters OF inquiry, and will not be bastv
In accepting any proposals, but will walt
reasonable time 10 hear from all Inter.
ested He seems to be confident that bis
plans and experiments will brin him the
leading accomplishment of the age.
